In this episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide, we explore the critical updates every private practice should make to their patient policy approach in 2025. As healthcare costs rise and reimbursements stagnate, practices must evolve their patient accountability, transparency, and operational frameworks to maintain both care quality and financial health. Brandon breaks down key strategies such as mandating pre-visit insurance verification, training staff for upfront collections, and implementing strict cancellation and no-show policies to protect cash flow. He also highlights the growing importance of telehealth, wearable data policies, and patient education for compliance and engagement. The episode emphasizes adopting a Patient Code of Conduct to establish mutual respect, financial responsibility, and behavioral expectations—helping create a consistent, patient-centered culture that sustains care excellence in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
